My friend Tony came for lunch yesterday and brought with him some lilies….and so of course I had to paint them this morning while still fresh…..

This is a rapid watercolour, allowing the fluidity of the paint to weave its own magic.

I draw with the brush.     It’s important to remember that a watercolour does not have to look exactly like the subject.

The subject is merely a jumping off point….and my aim is to capture the essence of the flower rather than an exact replica.

To complete, I added a magical hummingbird.

A bientôt.
